Asian Tuna Burgers

Most Read

Finely chop fish by hand for a light texture. Don't use a food processor -- it will make the patties dense and dry. Serve with pickled ginger, with or without a bun.

Ingredients

1 tuna steak

1 green onion

2 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tsp. fresh ginger

0.25 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

0.25 c. plain dried bread crumbs

2 tbsp. sesame seeds

Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

With large chef's knife, finely chop tuna. Place tuna in medium bowl and mix in green onion, soy sauce, ginger, and pepper until combined.

Shape tuna mixture into four 3-inch round patties (mixture will be very soft and moist).

On waxed paper, combine bread crumbs and sesame seeds. With hands, carefully press patties, one at a time, into bread-crumb mixture, turning to coat both sides. Spray both sides of tuna patties with nonstick spray.

Place tuna patties on grill over medium heat and cook 6 to 7 minutes, until browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center for medium-rare or until desired doneness, turning patties over once.
